Nick Jonas recently struck an emotional chord with fans after performing his song 'Princesses' live and dedicating it to his daughter, Malti Marie. As he poured his emotions into a song inspired by fatherhood, the emotional moment revealed a gentler, very intimate side of the musician. The song, which is from his most recent solo album, captures Jonas' development as a musician and as a loving father. His music now expresses love, vulnerability, and familial ties in real life.
A Special Song from a New Album
'Sunday Best,' Nick Jonas' fifth solo album, represents a major turning point in his career. The album, which was released on 6th February, earlier this year, delves into intimate subjects that mirror Jonas' current stage of life, ranging from the pleasures and challenges of family life to his struggles with type 1 diabetes. 'Princesses' is one of the emotional centerpiece tracks on 'Sunday Best,' and it sits among other deeply reflective songs that showcase Jonas' growth as both an artist and a person.

Jonas wrote the album while juggling his life on tour with reflection and creativity, frequently finding inspiration in his daily experiences. The feeling of intimacy and rawness is what really sets 'Princesses' apart. The lyrics provide a father's perspective on watching his little daughter explore her imagination and the world around her, rather than being a stereotypical pop love ballad.
In conversations about the creative process, Jonas said that the title was conceived on the spur of the moment while working with co-authors Jeff "Gitty" Gitelman and JP Saxe.
He acknowledged that initially he wasn't sure if the concept would work, but as they started to develop it, the song organically evolved into a representation of his relationship with Malti.
Live Performance and the Emotional Dedication
During a recent concert in Los Angeles, Nick Jonas performed 'Princesses' live, dressed in a sharp brown suit, and the moment quickly went viral as fans captured clips of the heartfelt tribute. While showcasing songs like 'Chains,' 'Hope,' and 'Sweet To Me,' it was 'Princesses' that moved the audience the most, with many taking to social media to gush about the emotional depth of the performance and the genuine passion Jonas displayed.
The song is a father's love letter to his daughter, not just a performance piece. According to Jonas, 'Princesses' captures his perception of Malti and her worldview, especially her fondness for "princess" in real life. The chorus captures the basic want that many parents have: to spend all of their precious moments with their child.

Beyond the stage, Nick Jonas frequently discloses tidbits about his life with his wife, Priyanka Chopra, and their three-year-old daughter, Malti Marie.
